Why choose a coach? What does a coach do?
As a coach, I will help you to recognise the goals that you want to achieve and look at the reasons why you haven’t been able to achieve them so far.
You may be neurodiverse which can have its own difficulties in progressing in your chosen path or you may be recovering from trauma, grief or abuse which has severe effects on your ability to have the confidence to pursue your goals and reach the life that you wish to enjoy. You may have limiting beliefs that persist in preventing you from taking the step on your own or you may just need guidance to set you on your own path.
Together we will formulate a plan using the Mind Movies Method and begin the journey for your transformation.
Why I am a coach
My name is Cheryl Turner and I live with my partner in Cornwall England. We have a small holding with horses, goats, poultry and our treasured dogs. Our lives revolve around the love of the natural world and the animals we care for.
Back in the pre covid days, I worked in a primary school and took children out into woodland to learn about ‘Forest School’. This incorporated all things in nature and physical activity for the children. Learning outside in the natural environment is tremendously important for mental, emotional and physical wellbeing, a philosophy I continue to carry and encourage. I also spent the rest of the working week taking gardening and environmental work.
Covid arrived and lock down was upon us. While most people were stranded and alone, we had our own space and the luxury of time on our hands. We filled our days in the outdoors playing with our animals and tending to our garden. It was wonderful. We were aware of how lucky we were when for others it was a harrowing time. This changed our perspective of how animals and nature can enhance and heal. This was the beginning of a new era for us.
Healing Your Trauma
From then on, we turned instead to Animal Assisted Therapy for all ages and abilities at our home. This has helped and enhanced the lives of so many children and their families by providing a safe but challenging environment in which to find their true selves and to begin the healing of the traumas and difficulties in their lives.
The next pivotal stage in our story was from suffering an unexpected trauma that left my partner and I with PTSD. After struggling for endless weeks we both sought help. I found counselling and spiritual therapies aided my recovery. These revealed my limiting beliefs, past traumas including narcissistic abuse and a tendency to co-dependency.
Through these interventions and healing, I have found a new path to follow, greater confidence and the real ‘me’. I can finally achieve a life that is fulfilling, rewarding and enjoyable every day. It has been a classic ‘phoenix from the fire’ experience.
From these experiences I have a desire to help more people who have had life struggles, to assist them to find their true selves and like me, enjoy success and fulfilment in all areas of their lives.
